Letter: Putting DQSH hysteria into perspective

Let's put the hysteria over the Drag Queen Story Hour into perspective, shall we? It is one event scheduled for one branch of the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library. No one is being forced to attend.

Yet Vanderburgh County Commissioner Cheryl Musgrave has threatened library funding and called for the firing of the library's director. What's next Commissioner Musgrave? Will the three-person County Commission attempt to control which books are to be allowed on our library's shelves?

Thankfully, Musgrave's threat is apparently an empty one because the library's separate funding mechanism allows it to be independent of politics..

If "e" really is for everyone in Evansville, our free public library should be open to all.
